I may be late on this but I learned somewhere that PVC pipe gives Indigos a maze and enhances the enclose. I got a 3" wide by four ft. long pipe and my snake hangs out in it like a second box. I glued some stick on sandpaper to the inside and it comes in handy during shed. Going back to get some more pipe to add with a curve in it.

Good for you, I think simple things like this can only enhance and enrich a captives experience. I too use PVC, making simple mazes and challenging the snake to find its food. My Indigos are quite sight oriented, so they are not real skilled...

Using PVC pipes offers a good way for the indigos to seek shelter and thermoregulate, probably a simple way in captivity to imitate a burrow, which Indigos clearly use in the wild.

I love this idea and have been at Home Depot and Lowes tonight scoping out pipes and trying to make a plan! Both of my boys are in 6x3 cages, so I'm thinking of making a U type structure with the pipes using the curving connectors, maybe go about 5 feet long on each side of the U shape, and 2.5 feet wide with it. I really wish I could make it a double decker but I can't find 180 degree connectors that would allow me to do that for the 3 inch piping haha!
